Firestrike score very low 15642 Zotac AMP Edition GTX1080

[newbiepcbuilder101]

Hi there i bought a new graphics card. The Zotac AMP Edition gtx1080. When i ran the firestrike test i seem to be getting quite low score in comparison to others with my graphics card (a GTX1080)

here is the web link

http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/21238901

to be fair the graphics score is 23702 which isnt that bad i guess. But for some reason my physics score is extremely low...i have i5-4690k oced to 4.1

hrmm any ideas?

Your CPU is killing your overall score, Haswell CPU and an i5.

The GTX 1080 Graphic score is fine.

Here is the compare between yours and mine: http://www.3dmark.com/compare/fs/13208850/fs/13169622

Hrmm thats interesting.... Is the 4690k really that slow nowadays? I could try overclocking it more i guess. I dont think i have anything major running in the background that would be hogging the cpu.. hrmm its a mystery

Overclocking it more isn't really going to help much.

You could try and find an I7 4790K, that will make a difference for sure.

Compared to the new Skylake and Kabylake CPU's yeah, then i7's on top of it.

You know I have an i7 right?

The 7700K so it will be faster than your i5, 8 threads vs 4 and 4th gen vs 7th gen

Everything looks ok really. Your GPU is performing as expected, so is your 4690k. The Physics score is a little biased towards multithreaded and higher core processors. It assumes those resources will always get used and result in higher frames. Even though they clearly don't. That's why a Ryzen 1600 gets a higher score than jankerson's OC'd 7700k. Compare any real-world gaming performance and the 7700k kills the 1600 until you load it up with additional tasks like streaming and background transcoding.

I'm not saying the 4690k isn't aging, but it's not nearly as bad as it looks. There's only a handful of titles that really crave more cores right now, BF1, AotS, and so on. And I'd bet you still run those titles just fine right now.

And he OCed his GTX 1080...

I didn't use my Oced Score for my GTX 1080 for the compare.... LOL

I don't run it OCed anyway so I used the compare score as how I run my machine.


Here is the compare of my GTX 1080 Oced compared to his OCed.

yeah my graphics card is oced i get usually around 2050 clock rate. Its a zotac amp edition. If i had the choice again i would not pick this gpu :/

what gpu do u have jankerson? I might sell this one.

Another kinda issue i get is the message volt limit and power limit in afterburner when i run the firestrike test. Very odd as im running at 105% power

The i5 is holding it back a bit.

Not too bad though, but an i7 would push it harder.
